General Information
Object of the Summer Session
The Summer Session is intended to provide instruction for reg-
ular students of this and other colleges and universities and for
those engaged during the winter in teaching.
Location
The location of Shaw University is especially convenient, situ-
ated practically in the heart of the Capital City. No car or cab
fares will be necessary to visit the shopping district, State Depart-
ment of Education, State Museum, State Library, Hall of History,
and other places of educational interest. An exceedingly bracing
and healthful climate makes this city an ideal place for residence
and study.
Faculty
The faculty for the Summer Session will be composed primarily
of the regular members of the Shaw University faculty, together
with additional specialists in the field of education.

Library
A well-equipped and attractive library, consisting of more than
15,000 books, is located in Tyler Hall. It is supervised by a com-
petent librarian who aids the students in their reference work and
guides them in their general reading. Magazines and daily and
weekly newspapers provide ample means for the information of
students on current events. It is the aim of the Administration
to make the library one of great usefulness in the education of
the students in technical knowledge and general culture.
Observation and Directed Teaching Facilities
Opportunity for observation and directed teaching under the
supervision of the University Summer School may be provided
under special conditions through the Raleigh Public School System.
These facilities are available during the first session only.

Dormitory Facilities
With three dormitories — Estey Hall, Shaw Hall, Convention Hall

the men students are under the supervision of the Director of

forms of recreation provided by the University.
In addition, several social events are held for the students and
faculty of the Summer Session.
Teachers' Employment Bureau
The bureau has secured each year a large number of teaching
and administrative positions for students and former students. It
exists for the double purpose of supplying the needs of school
officials over the State and of helping students and former students
to find teaching and administrative positions for which they are
best fitted.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. All students are expected to
attend these exercises. Special addresses are arranged and inter-
esting musical recitals presented.

Workshop-Seminar for Principals and
Supervisors
Because of the success of the workshop-seminar last year, plans
are being made to provide during the first session of the 1945
Summer School a workshop-seminar for teachers, principals, and su-
pervisors. The workshop-seminar is designed to give its members an
opportunity to clarify their thinking on problems of educational
philosophy, and to give them assistance in defining educational objec-
tives. Each member will be given a chance to work on problems
which are encountered in his particular school situation. Those who
bring similar problems will be encouraged to work in small, informal
groups. In addition, they will have easy access to the services of
a group of sympathetic and competent workshop specialists.
Those who attend will be given credit for six semester hours in
supervision and administration. These hours will fulfill the State's
requirements for the principal's or supervisor's certificate, and, in
addition, serve to renew certificates.
Registration for the workshop will begin June 4. Total cost $24.50.
For further information, please feel free to communicate with
the Director of Summer School.
